    I’m thinking what it must have been like for this guy to dream this all up and picture it in his head.
    This demonstrates perfectly how electronic music uses a layered approach to song building.

    • @grahamdunning
      @grahamdunning  2 роки тому +9

      I didn't dream it all up and picture it in my head, that's not how I work. I tested lots of things out and played around with materials and equipment - kept what worked and put it together to make this.
      Glad that it gets across how the layering of music works! It's definitely informed by how I learnt to record music with a 4-track tape recorder, and also using Fruity Loops.

      When I said “Dreaming it up in your head”, I must admit I pictured myself, in my head, building up piece by piece what you created. At times I create something out of found objects or known objects / materials and felt in tune with what you were doing even though I have never attempted anything like this. I think it’s safe to say I feel very inspired by your creation. Please keep it up. I can’t wait to see where it takes you next :-)

      @chrisbrown18andup 8 років тому +3

      first paragraph in the sl1200 wiki "Originally released as a high fidelity consumer record player, it quickly became adopted among radio and club disc jockeys, thanks to the direct drive, high torque motor design, making it initially suitable for pushbutton cueing and starting of tracks on radio"

    • @SianaGearz
      @SianaGearz 8 років тому +8

      Yes, for the longest time only Technics made this particular kind of motor. It's not the typical arrangement where the motor is coupled to the platter, instead, the only moving part inside the body is the massive spindle bearing, and the platter itself is the magnetic rotor of the drive. There are no wimpy mild steel mounts there that could bend.

      You may have come across techno in your grandparents' LP collection, and wondered what all the fuss was about.
      Techno is in fact one of the oldest known forms of music, known to the ancient Greeks as _tekton_, or "carpentry".
      The principles of techno have many useful applications, from parliamentary debate to the humble kitchen Tannoy.
